1. The particle size range of the Microtrac S3500 instrument used in Dynamic Laser Light Scattering is 0.3 nanometers to 10 microns.12. The mean and standard deviation is not appropriate for particle size distributions because the data distribution is skewed toward larger sizes. This contributes to a wide distribution that is associated with a very large standard deviation. In addition, the mean is not representative of the data when the data is skewed to one side. As in the study of analyzing particle size distribution in the sedimentation method enhanced by electrical-potential, the reliability of the converged solution increases as iterations increase.2Therefore, the standard deviation is not a reliable measure of the data distribution if the number of iterations has not been capable of producing a single mean, rather, many relative means dispersed throughout the data may be more representative than a single absolute mean of all the data. 3. A) D(10) = 700 μm, D(50) = 1000 μm, D(90) = 1300 μm

What students are saying

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
